Is there a way to have Ethereal filter on the presence of a string in data?
For example, I'm looking for the string "websales" that may appear in http
traffic (or in other traffic).

Currently, I'm doing this by capturing the data to a file, then doing:

Tethereal -r file -V |less

And then searching for the string in less.  I'm fairly sure this isn't the
most efficient way of doing this.

I just installed Ethereal on a computer with a GUI and I'm opening up the
old file -- it would be nice to be able to search for the string inside
Ethereal.  I thought I might be able to do this by looking for the string
using something like Data == "websales" but that didn't work.

FYI, if anyone cares, the reason I'm looking for this string is because
people from websalesjet are trying to use my server for spam (and have
successfully done so in the past) and I'm trying to figure out how.  It's
not because the machine is an open relay, so they must be doing it through
some other service. My first thought is the Web server, and so I want to
look and see what URLs, etc., are being sent that contain that string (which
is present in the e-mails).

Thanks!
